Tacoma City Council member Kristina Walker, who is widely known for her staunch environmental advocacy, views old shipping containers as a vast yet overlooked resource. With the rapid growth of the city and its port activity in full swing, she believes there is no excuse to let these cargo boxes go to waste particularly amidst an extreme shortage of available housing.
Utilizing shipping containers for more than just shipment and disposal, Walker suggests a potential solution to Tacoma’s housing deficit – turning these cargo vessels into tiny houses, accessory dwelling units, or homes for the homeless. Despite its minor scale in comparison to other solutions, this adaptive reuse is still an effective method of supplying shelter. In any case; while repurposing shipping containers may not solve all of Tacoma’s housing issues alone, they certainly can contribute significantly towards filling that gap.
Home in Tacoma’s endeavors has made it evident that many Tacomans are eager for more housing, particularly affordable housing. Nevertheless, how to achieve this goal is a subject of heated discussion. Will Tacoma neighborhoods accept ADUs constructed from used shipping containers? It remains difficult to say, yet one can safely feel somewhat suspicious about the outcome.
Hopes are high at the Port of Tacoma as a new project to build additional container storage capacity is underway. With activity resuming across West Coast ports, this innovative solution can help long-term ease operations and ensure smoother sailing ahead.
The port has recently been honored with a $15.73 million grant from the Maritime Administration’s Port Infrastructure Development Program (PIDP) to aid in the construction of a new 24-acre container storage space on port-owned land.
By 2023, the off-dock site will liberate much-needed space at nearby terminals, providing a convenient solution for those looking to dock.

The Port is constructing a repurposed shipping container village to expand public access and invigorate the waterfront district as it undergoes renewal. Kulshan Trackside, Selkie Scoop, and Sun-e-land Bikes have already set up shop in this unique location; offering beer, ice cream, pump track bike rentals/sales of electric bikes for rent respectively. Despite potential obstacles associated with operating within such structures, many businesses are making these shipping containers their own.
The village is set to welcome more businesses with the completion of phase one – including Rain or Shine Riviera Club’s container featuring The Filling Station menu items, such as burgers, fried chicken sandwiches, and fish & chips; a craft cocktails bar space. An additional container in partnership with D.I.S.H Foundation and Our Kitchen will provide coffee and freshly baked goods for the public’s delight! Last but not least, another container shall be devoted to rotating artists & vendors for shopping pleasure.
The Port is presently devising the second stage of its shipping container village which will include up to 10 additional containers, allowing for a steady development that responds to market fluctuations and public expectations without restraining future progress. Thanks to this waterfront revitalization project, businesses have been able to become more deeply entrenched in the local area with no intention of leaving anytime soon.
Shipping your container internationally? You will need a cargo-worthy container that has passed a survey inspection. Our network of IICL-certified inspectors can provide an independent survey inspection that ensures that your “shipper-owned container” is cargo worthy/seaworthy. They will provide a one-page inspection detailing any necessary repairs and will certify that your shipping container is structurally sound and good for international shipping .
They will apply a new CSC (Convention for Safe Containers) sticker showing that your container has passed. This sticker is good for 1 year. If your container needs repair, the certificate will be applied once the necessary repairs are made. For more information on shipping internationally Step-by-Step Guide to Shipping internationally
